Winemaking
Elegance. Balance. Place.
Our Winemaking Team
Our small yet mighty winemaking team is led by Winemaker Isadora Frias, whose Brazilian roots, scientific expertise, and uncompromising standards guide every wine we produce at Estate 8 by ONEHOPE.
Since joining ONEHOPE in 2022, Isadora has thoughtfully shaped our portfolio with precision, intention, and deep respect for the land. Her philosophy centers on allowing each vineyard site and vintage to express its unique character while pursuing balance, structure, and exceptional quality in every bottle. Actively involved in both vineyard management and farming decisions, Isadora works closely with our growers throughout the season to ensure every harvest reflects the very best of Napa Valley terroir.
Our winemaking program brings together the expertise of distinguished consulting winemakers Philippe Melka, Maayan Koschitzky, and Rob Mondavi Jr., alongside the vision of Head Winemaker Isadora Frias, to create a portfolio of limited-production wines that embody elegance, terroir, and world-class Napa Valley winemaking.

The Wines
Crafted at our Rutherford estate, our small-production wines reflect a commitment to balance, elegance, and age-worthy structure.
At the heart of the collection is our Iconic AVA Series—Cabernet Sauvignons sourced from Napa Valley’s most celebrated sub-appellations, including Rutherford, Oakville, Atlas Peak, Mt. Veeder, and St. Helena. Each wine captures the unique character and expression of its origin, creating an extraordinary portfolio of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Vineyards
In addition to farming our certified CCOF organic Rutherford estate vineyard, we work closely with trusted growers across Napa Valley to source Cabernet Sauvignon from neighboring sub-appellations for our Iconic AVA series.
A hallmark of Napa Valley winemaking, these grower partnerships allow wineries and vineyards to collaborate closely in cultivating exceptional fruit. With active oversight from our winemaking team throughout the growing season and harvest, each vineyard site is selected for its unique character, quality, and expression of terroir.
Located along the famed Rutherford Bench, Rutherford Estate is the heart of Estate 8 by ONEHOPE. Farmed with intention and deep respect for the land, this estate vineyard produces wines with remarkable depth, structure, and elegance.
Known for its rich soils and ideal growing conditions, Oakville produces Cabernet Sauvignon with powerful concentration, refined tannins, and classic Napa Valley opulence balanced by exceptional elegance.
High-elevation vineyards atop Atlas Peak bring intensity and structure to our wines, showcasing bold mountain fruit, vibrant acidity, and layered complexity.
Perched among Napa Valley’s rugged western slopes, Mt. Veeder yields small clusters with concentrated flavor, creating wines defined by structure, freshness, and earthy sophistication.
Warm days and cool evenings in St. Helena create beautifully balanced fruit with plush texture, dark berry character, and polished tannins that embody classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
